I opened my eyes and found myself in a dark room. It looked like a endless room of nothingness. All that was there was a large golden door. The door, although, seemed to be standing in the middle of nowhere. I knew that that door must be where Maka was. I walked up to the door and opened it to find another large barren room. Only this one was smaller than the endless room from which I came. I looked around, as I went inside, and saw that the only things in there were a big bookshelf and a violet chair. I realized after looking at it for a second that the room looked just like Maka's room, only without a bed and a purple chair in its place instead. The bookshelf even looked like the one in her room that's always falling over because of all the weight on it. I went to the shelf not noticing the door behind me closing. I didn't see Maka anywhere yet and thought that the books might provide a clue.

I opened up one of them and felt my mind going blank, right before I felt myself black out i could have sworn i heard an eerie high pitched giggle. When I felt myself regain consciousness I looked around and found myself somewhere completely different. It looked like I was back in death city but for some reason things looked different. I couldn't put my finger on it but things were definitely different. I then heard a little girl crying. I looked over and was surprised to see a tiny version of my partner sitting on the ground crying.

"Hey Maka, what's wrong?" I asked but she didn't respond. It seemed like she didn't even hear me. I tried to get her attention by lightly touching her shoulder only to find my hand pass right through her. I was shocked to say the least. That's when I heard her say "Don't leave me mommy! Don't leave me with papa! I wanna be with you! Mama, mama, MAMA!"

I watched Maka crying and realized that this must have been the day Maka's mom left her. I then realized why things looked different, everything looked younger! This must be Maka's memories. I then watched the young crying Maka with pain. Knowing I couldn't do anything to help her, I clenched my fist. I've always hated watching her suffer and this just made things worse knowing I couldn't do anything to stop it!

It was then things started changing and this time it changed into an all too familiar scene. I smiled while watching it. There was a younger me and maka from when we first decided to partner up.

"This is who I am." Mini-Me said. It was then the little me started playing that dark tune. I couldn't believe how accurate it sounded considering that I played this years ago and only once for her. Maka has an amazing memory.

The scene shifted again and this time I saw us collecting our first soul against Lizzie Bordon. I saw her still swinging me clumsily but determined. She managed to dodge most of Lizzie's attack but was hit a few times. It annoyed me though that I couldn't even protect her from a few basic scratches. Eventually Maka managed to swing me down on the Kishen's head causing her to turn into nothing a red soul.

Again the scene shifted to when we had our big confrontation with Blair. I saw how uncool I was back then, acting like Blair was more important than Maka just to collect her soul. I saw Maka have tears welling up in her eyes as she did what she could to make sure no one saw them. I never noticed those before and it hurt to see them. If I didn't know that this was only a memory and couldn't be changed I'd hold her right then and there.

The scene shifted again though and I saw us fighting Crona for the first time and I felt my heart stop watching her backed into a corner. Even though I knew what came next, I still felt scared seeing her so frightened and willing to take a hit like that. Right before the me with Maka transformed back to protect her, I felt myself forcefully pulled out of this world.

I felt myself shoot back into consciousness and saw I was back in that same emptyish room. But this time I saw in front of me a demon thing. Holding that same book I had been holding. I saw the cover said "memories". I took another look at the demon and for some reason it looked like a mix of my demon, the one in my soul, and Blair. It was purple with cat like yellow eyes, and horns that curled like Blair's hair does. She wore a dress similar to the one Blair wore when we learned she was a Cat, except it looked spikier and more demonic. The demon seemed to be glaring at me.

"Who are you!?" I asked it.

It just grinned at me with a demonic, toothy, cat like grin. "I'm Maka" it replied sinisterly.

I glared. "You aren't my partner at all!"

"Oh but I am. I'm the demon within your partner's soul. I represent the fears and weaknesses she has."

"What do you mean?" I was confused. This demon was definitely not my partner.

"Tell me, do I remind you of anyone?"

"Yeah, you remind me of our cat Blair"

"Exactly, I told you I represent her fears and weaknesses."

"You lost me."

"Maybe this will explain things." The demon then went over to the bookshelf and grabbed a book labelled "Fears".

"Open this up and you should understand what I'm saying."

I was confused but I listened to it anyway.

Once I opened the book again I felt myself blacking out yet again.

This time when I woke up I saw Maka crying again asking her mother not to leave her.

"Mommy please, don't leave me! Don't leave me alone!" she cried

Her mother just stared at her with a cold look on her face. "Why would I want to stay with you? Why would I want a useless daughter who couldn't live up to the potential I gave her?"

I watched horrified. I never knew Maka's mother but if that's what she's like I wouldn't want too! But I realized that this may not be the real her, this is a part of Maka's fears. I still hld a slight grudge on the lady for abandoning Maka, but i'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she's not like this. But i still didn't understand how this was a fear? Was she scared of her mother hating her?

The scene started to shift and i groaned. This was getting ridiculous.

It was then I saw ANOTHER familiar scene. I saw when I was pretending to love Blair...again. though this time Blair looked ALOT more sexy, she was wearing an outfit that consisted of a tight black top that only went over the top of her chest with long sleeves, her chest was bigger, and she had on a very tight and very short pair of shorts. (A.N. The outfit she wears when fighting Mizune in the anime). Another oddity was that for some reason my words and my actions were much more exaggerated. I was practically falling over her feet! "See ya tiny-tits. I've got a much prettier and cooler partner now." Then that other me proceeded to kiss Blair.

I looked to Maka, and she looked devastated and I could have sworn I heard her whisper "Don't leave me."

The scene shifted again, I didn't even care anymore, and I saw this time it was at school. I saw another me looking cocky, "Yeah, this partnership won't work out. If I want to become a cool deathsythe i'm gonna need a better meister. Hopefully one who looks good, and won't be violent. They shouldn't put themselves in stupid situations where I'll get massively injured as well. See ya Maka. Yknow if Blair were a meister I think she'd be perfect." And that other me walked off. I felt like punching that me walking away from a hurt Maka.

After that the scenes kept shifting each time including Maka being abandoned or something. A lot of them seemed to include me leaving her for Blair as well surprisingly. There was one other though that stuck out. It was me and Maka fighting some kishen and I got injured in it. It looked like I wasn't waking up either. She kept calling out my name but I wouldn't wake up, it didn't take me long to see this fear was of my death. I analyzed in my mind the other scenes and realized her main fear was to be abandoned.

Before the scene shifted again I felt myself forced out of the visions again. I saw that annoying little demon again. It smiled again. "Do you get it now?"

"The reason you look like Blair is because she fears abandonment and she thinks Blair will be a cause of that?" I asked it annoyed.

"Exactly."

"Why would she think that?"

"Because of how you almost left her for that cat before."

"I would NEVER leave her. Maka means way too much for me to ever just leave her like that!"

"Maybe. But she can't be certain after you did so before. It's what sent more doubt into her heart."

"Why did she get sucked into the madness!?"

"She was worried, she wanted to save you for sure, but she doubted you would stay after the black blood was gone. You wouldn't need her wavelength anymore to stay sane anymore after all. I felt that doubt and lured her into madness with sweet words saying she wouldn't have to fear abandonment or any painful feelings in her heart ever again. She was the one who took me up on the offer."

I glared daggers at this little demon. "WHERE IS SHE?" I asked holding back a yell at this monster.

"She's inside of me right now sleeping peacefully you'd have to dive your soul deeply into me in order to find her, although, there's no gurantee you'll go back. After all if you're there only she can let you go of her own will. And considering how much she wants to stay with you, she may not want to let you go. If she chooses not to, you'll also be trapped in the madness when your body wakes up. The choice is yours." The little imp smiled that sickening grin again.

I knew I had no other choice though. I needed Maka and if she needed me there with her in the deepest reaches of her soul for eternity then I would willingly stay with her as long as she wanted it.

I looked to the demon and forced myself to push my soul deep into it. After searching for awhile i eventually saw a small light. I went over and saw Maka curled up asleep. I smiled, even in the most dangerous situations she still managed to look peacefully adorable. I embraced her and whispered to her to wake her up.

I'm not sure how long it took but after a while she finally opened her eyes and looked to me. "Soul? What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I'm here to help bring you out of the madness." I whispered to her softly.

"You came for me?"

"Of course I did. I'll always be here for you when you need me."

"I'm comfy here i-i don't want to go back to that uncertain world. It scares me."

"Come back with me. I promise i won't leave you alone. I'll stay by your side as long as you wish."

"Can't you stay here?"

"Only if you want, but do you really want to run away from you fears? Do you really want to hide away for the rest of your life? That doesn't sound like the Maka I know. There may be bad times but remember all the good times as well. Come with me, we'll be able to see all of our friends. Come on."

She looked scared. Then she closed her eyes. "I'm afraid but I'll trust you. I'll leave with you."

"Good. Come on. Lead us out of your soul" and she did. I followed her light holding onto her the entire time, the thought of letting go never crossed my mind.

When I woke up I saw we were in a DWMA jail cell together there were several wounds on my body but i was just relieved to be back. Then I saw waiting at the door Stein smirking.

"Welcome back."

"What happened?" i asked him.

"After awhile both of you woke up but you had gone mad. I could tell though that you were still fighting for her because you never let go of her hand no matter what we threw at you. I was the one who suggested just locking you up instead of killing you because I could see how hard you were working to save her."

It was then I saw that Maka was still unconscious but she looked quite peaceful. I smiled but flinched and held back a groan when a wave of pain hit me all at once. I looked and saw my new wounds acting up and bleeding a bit.

"You'll need to stay at the infirmary for awhile. You need to let those wounds heal."

"Sounds good to me."
